Day 01:Drive from Kathmandu to Beni (830m.) takes about 9 hours.

Day 02:Trek from Beni to Takam (1665m.) takes about 6hours.

From Myagdi district headquarters you follow a gravel road for 24km to Darbang and start walking. Takam is a three hour walk away with Himal towering overhead.

Day 03:Trek from Takam to Lamsung (2250m.) takes about 6 hours.

This is where the scenery starts getting even more dramatic. This is what Nepal used to be like before the trekkers got here. Locals are not used to foreigners and have a lot of stories to tell about the war.

Day 04:Trek from Lamsung to Gurjaghat (3020m.) takes 7 hours.

Climb through dense pine forests, with musk deer darting in the undergrowth. The meadows on the ridge offer 180 degree views of Dhaulagiri the entire range up to Churen Himal in the west.

Day 05:Trek from Gurjaghat to Dhorpatan (2860m.) takes 5 hours.

You cross over from Myagdi to Baglung and into the former Tibetan refugee camp which was serviced byan airfield built by the Swiss in the 1950s. This is also the entrance to Dhorpatan, a Hunting Reserve, where you can spot mountain goats and blue sheeps (Bharal).

Day 06:Trek from Dhorpatan to Nisi Dhor takes 5 hours.

This is a paradise for birds. Watch danphes pheasants,and other migratory species that you have seen only in bird guides. Hard to imagine that people fought a war here. There are cow sheds in the monsoon, but in the winter these high pastures are deserted.

Day 07:Trek from Nisi Dhorto Tallo Sera takes about 7 hours.

Cross over from Baglung to Rukum into Magar country and enter the fromer Maoist base area. There are dense forests all the way, so it must have been easy to hide here from the helicopter patrols. The villages are picturesque and there is always some kind of Magar festival going on.

Day 08:Trek from Tallo Sera to Rujhikhola takes about 6 hours.

Walk to Lukum in Rukum, a village populated only by Magars and Dalits(low cast). This is about as medieval as it gets in Nepal nowadays.

Day 09:Trek from Rujhikhola to Thabang takes about 5 hours.

Thabang is the cradle of the Maoist revolution. It was damaged in army attacks and parts of the town were flattened by ‘tora bora’ mortar shells dropped from helicopters. There has been some development of infrastructure after the war ended, and the people are eager and friendly.

Day 10:Trek from Thabang to Jaljale takes about 5 hours.

The highest point in Jaljale is Dharampani (3900m) and there is a great view from Api Saipal in thewest to Dhaulagiri in the east.

Day 11:Trek from Jajala toJelbang takes 6 hours.

Now we’re moving down from the high mountains and the village ethnically mixed.

Day 12:Trek from Jelbang to Suliochaur takes about 6 hours.

This is where we finally get to Rolpa and the road head. Rolpa was also a rebel base area and for many of the ten years of war under total Maoist control. You can eat at one of the many commune restaurants run by Maoist cooperative, where staffs are relatives of those who were killed in the fighting's.
